    So, I'm a bit of a tightwad, and as a result, I haven't even momentarily considered dresses that are out of my budget, i.e. $500 or below. And to be honest, I've found some good options, and I have plenty of time to mull it over. But after seeing this epic post, I've been thinking about either making a road trip to Lynchburg, or trying some dresses on closer to home and then seeing if Church Street Bridal has them.

    But, since I've steadfastly ignored anything over $500, I'm totally clueless about designers that might have dresses I'm into, let alone particular dresses. I know there have been plenty of threads along the lines of "this is out of my budget, what is like it but cheaper?", so would anyone like to play the opposite game? This time, it's "I like this, but let's find something higher-end!"

    What I'm into:

    Dislikes: major bling, lots of volume, big puffy dresses

    Likes: simple column styles, texture, ruching, strapless, little or no train

    And here are the two front runners so far. Both under $550, the second one is actually a bridesmaid dress, per some other post that I am too lazy to find right now.

    Anybody want to play? (And yes, I'm a dork who quotes Inception on a post about dresses. That's how I roll.)

    @heather5743: Awesome, thank you so much! I like a lot of those, and that page of Eden dresses kind of does it for me. And although I'm trying to find fancy ones outside my price range, it seems like at least some of them are still in my price range! Hey, can't complain about that.
